I love a great surprise proposal, and this one was a true surprise! Samarth did such a wonderful job thinking through not only how to make it a surprise but also how to make sure it was all something that Nikita would love. He lured her to the beautiful gardens at Filoli under the guise…
This little family is just an absolute delight. We ran around the Music Concourse in Golden Gate Park for the morning, and I was very excited that little M even treated us to a bit of his conducting, since he absolutely loves the Golden Gate Park Band that performs here in the bandshell. Such a…
What a joy to photograph this growing family! It’s always wonderful to spend time with Parker and Amanda, and it was extra special to meet their little one, especially after having just photographed them all when baby was still on the inside. That all feels like it was just yesterday, but I suppose it’s already…
Seven kids and seven adults, and at least my seventh time photographing this wonderful family. You might think the chaos level would decrease over time, but instead these kids just get faster and more opinionated every year. But it’s all great fun, and the photos are such a time capsule and a delightful marker of…
Jill came to me wanting to document this very precious time with their baby boy, as he is adorable and just bubbling with personality. She also especially loves fall and Halloween, so it was the perfect time to capture these moments in this very fleeting season of life. Bat boy and bat dog! So cute….
I loved meeting this wonderful family on a perfectly sunny morning at Filoli. They are expecting their third little boy and had never done a single professional photo session before, though you would never know it, as they were all so easy to photograph! Here are just a few favorites below. Anna Wu is…
Alex and I embarked on section four of five of the Crosstown Trail back in November, squeezing it in before we left on our travels for the rest of the year. Section four took us from the Sunset up through the Richmond via a cross section of Golden Gate Park. Not the most spectacular part…
One week after we completed section two of the Crosstown Trail, we resumed the hike with section three: “the stair section!” I wouldn’t have guessed it would be my favorite section (since walking up and down a ton of stairs doesn’t sound all that fun), but it turned out to be absolutely beautiful and charming!…
Hiking the Crosstown Trail is still an ongoing project for us, but Alex and I made a lot of progress in the fall before the weather and our travels set in. The Crosstown Trail is a wonderful volunteer-assembled walking/biking trail that extends from the southeast to the northwest corners of San Francisco. We hiked the…
This was such a wonderful fall photo session for this extended family! I’ve been friends with these folks for decades and got to photograph both Tiffany and Greg’s wedding almost seven years ago and Andrew and Sharon’s wedding last year. And now we’ve expanded and reunited with three kiddos, including the two baby girl cousins…
Bay Area sports fans, and Giants fans in particular, might just recognize the mama of this family– Emmy-winning sports anchor Laura Britt! It was an absolute delight to meet Laura and to photograph her whole family. We got a gorgeous sun-kissed backdrop atop this rather steep but quite beautiful hill in the East Bay. Anna…
This was an incredibly sweet mini session for Shiela and Tommy, who are expecting their firstborn very soon. We had Shiela scaling the sand dunes at Ocean Beach, but we lucked out with such a beautiful day, calm skies, and the perfect backdrop for these timeless portraits in a time of anticipation. Anna Wu is…
